Lu Shaoyu and Mu Zhenghan were going to Yangliu City and needed to prepare a lot of things. Tomb Siyu took the two of them out to buy things. They picked too much and asked the store to deliver them directly to their door.
"Mom, we can't use the things here, can we?" Lu Shaoyu stopped when he saw Mu Siyu leading the two of them into the Jewelry Pavilion.
"You don't need it, but I heard that Aunt Pang, who takes care of you, is worried about you a lot. I want to buy something for her. Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming, and I also want to buy something for your wife."
"Master Wen does not accept gifts." Lu Shaoyu said: "Master Wen returned all the gifts given by others."
"Then I'll make some food so that he can never come back." Mu Siyu said, "Aunt Pang took care of you when you were in private school. Her gifts are indispensable, so we have to prepare them."
The items in the Jewelry Pavilion were second only to Lingyun Pavilion. Mu Siyu picked through them and picked out three hairpins, four pairs of earrings, and two bracelets at once.
Lu Shaoyu and Mu Zhenghan looked at each other.
They finally understood that once a woman went shopping, it was as if she couldn't stop. Mu Siyu was usually very frugal, and today she spent fifty taels of silver in one go.
"Madam, please come this way."
The clerk welcomed the elegantly dressed young woman into the jewelry pavilion.
The young woman was stunned when she saw Mu Siyu, and then continued to select things on the counter as if she hadn't seen him.
Mu Siyu also saw her.
Li Hongshu.
She looked much haggard, her eyes had no sparkle, and like thousands of married women, she seemed like a pool of stagnant water.
No wonder Zheng Shuyu refused to marry into the Qian family after seeing her return home, because he didn't want to become like her now!
Mu Siyu picked up a wrench.
Li Hongshu also stretched out her hand.
The two looked at each other and then turned away their heads.
"Boss, I want this ring." Mu Siyu said, "How much does it cost?"
"Twelve," the boss said.
Li Hongshu said calmly: "I will pay twelve taels."
Mu Siyu frowned: "Then you can keep it, I don't want it anymore."
Li Hongshu looked ugly: "What do you mean? Do you think you look down on me? Have pity on me?"
Before Mu Siyu could speak, Mu Zhenghan said, "You are so unreasonable. My sister Qian asked you to return the wrong answer? Do you just like to snatch things from others?"
Li Hongshu sneered: "There's no need for her to pity me."
"Ms. Li, no, Mrs. Fang, I think you misunderstood. I just think you are paying twelve taels of silver, and I am not willing to pay such a high amount of silver to buy a ring that can be bought for only ten taels of silver, so I don't want to talk to you.
You fight. You are so noble, why should I pity you? Instead of pitying you, I would rather pity the beggars on the street and the homeless on the roadside." Mu Siyu said: "Shao Yu, Brother Han, let's go."
Li Hongshu watched their figures walking away, her eyes red.
The maid next to her looked at her worriedly.
"Madam, do we still want it?"
"What do you want? I don't want it anymore." Li Hongshu was angry. "Let's go back!"
Li Hongshu was so out of control not only because the current decline of the Li family was related to Mu Siyu, but also because she had just seen her husband and Zheng Xinyue together outside.
She was already angry, but she became even more angry when she saw Mu Siyu as the instigator.
If Lu Yi hadn't done anything to the Li family, the Li family's reputation wouldn't be like this, and she wouldn't have to be married to a villain like Fang Zhuoyu.
Although she knows...
She knew that if her brother had not provoked Mu Siyu, her husband would not have plotted against their Li family. In the final analysis, her brother deserved what he deserved.
But she still hates it!
Lu Xuan took half a day off today. Firstly, he ran out of paper and he had to go out to buy paper. Secondly, he hadn't gone home to see his family for a long time and he missed them too.
Anyway, we are in the city and very close, so just take two hours off.
"Second Master Lu." A clear and beautiful voice sounded.
Lu Xuan continued walking with the paper in hand, ignoring it.
"Second Master Lu, why are you ignoring me when your servant calls you?"
Qiu Shuang stopped Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan looked at Qiu Shuang in surprise: "The girl called me? I didn't pay attention."
"Second Master Lu, can you please take a moment to speak?" Qiu Shuang said, "Our lady is at the teahouse and I would like to invite you to have a cup of tea."
"This..." Lu Xuan hesitated.
Zheng Shuyu often takes Qiu Shuang to Dream Home, and Lu Xuan also goes to Dream Home frequently. Of course, they have met many times, but they have never crossed paths. In the past, they only nodded and said hello.
He looked back at the teahouse opposite.
Zheng Shuyu stood in front of the window and looked in the direction of Lu Xuan.
A gust of wind blew over, and her hat fluttered like a butterfly, as if it would fly away with the wind the next moment.
Lu Xuan finally left with Qiu Shuang.
He stayed in the teahouse for half an hour. After half an hour, he came out with a heavy heart.
In the teahouse, Qiu Shuang looked at Zheng Shuyu worriedly: "Miss, he refused."
Zheng Shuyu smiled bitterly: "I had guessed it a long time ago. I just wanted to give it a try. The result did not disappoint me. He would not agree."
"Our young lady needs to be good-looking, talented, and good at making money. If he, a poor scholar, doesn't have a powerful elder brother and a capable sister-in-law, how can he be worthy of our young lady?"
"I originally thought that instead of marrying someone named Qian, I might as well pick someone I want to marry. I really like his sister-in-law. If we can become sisters-in-law with her, we will definitely get along very well." Zheng Shuyu sighed: "But
He is right, how can marriage be a trivial matter? He is not like me, so why should he sacrifice his marriage to save me from suffering? Even though I said it was just a lie, he was not willing to do so even if I only wanted a title."
"What should we do next? The wedding is getting closer and closer. The old lady is eager to let the young lady get married, and then leave everything in the Zheng family to the eldest lady." Qiu Shuang said.
"Qiu Shuang, I have no choice but to make a plan." Zheng Shuyu said: "You can't marry anyone named Qian, otherwise I will be the second Li Hongshu. I don't want to become as useless as her."
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Zheng Shuyu was sitting just in time to see Li Hongshu coming out of the Jewelry Pavilion.
Li Hongshu is wearing a rose-red dress and her hair is in a woman's bun. The whole outfit looks a bit boring and old-fashioned. How can she be as youthful and beautiful as in previous years?
Look, a miserable marriage is a sharp knife that hurt a good girl like this.
Mu Siyu was picking snacks from a stall on the street when she turned around and saw Lu Xuan coming over distractedly.
"Shaoyu, do you think your uncle has been possessed?"
Lu Shaoyu walked towards Lu Xuan and stopped in front of him: "Uncle..."
Lu Xuan came to his senses: "Huh? Shaoyu, why are you here?"
"We are shopping here." Lu Shaoyu said, "Are you going to take a bath today?"
